Evaluating pitchers isn’t historically my thing, but I’m working on it. Welcome to the journey! At the very least, after today I expect to have a better sense of what sort of pitcher each of these guys is. That, to me, is more valuable than any set of rankings. Today I am examining K-BB% gainers…
As we get deeper into the offseason and closer to Opening Day 2021, it is imperative to know which players to target, which to avoid, and why. A 60-game season would hypothetically last from about Opening Day to late May or early June. As we all know too well, a player could have a slow…
Welcome to my meandering first look at today’s slate. I’m guaranteed to miss something, but if you haven’t even had your coffee yet, maybe this can move you along quicker in your own studies. I’d love to chat or debate on Twitter. You can find me @HeathCapps or on the rotoranks handle, @roto_ranks. Come argue,…
Today I’ve got a stack you can pay up for, as well as one you can fill in the gaps with. Also, the Giants and Padres are POSTPONED. Don’t be locking in Dinelson Lamet, okay? I feel compelled to share that there is a Coors game on this slate, though it was a letdown last…
Kevin Gausman has been productive in stints throughout his big league career, and now he’s in a great park for pitching. With a July ADP of 394 per the NFBC, Gausman was being drafted in “backup closer” territory–around guys like Blake Treinen and James Karinchak. No slight to those two, I’m just making the point…
Good morning all! In all honesty, I’m still figuring out what I want to focus on in 2020. I’m open to any suggestions that any of you might have. It’s been a crazy year, and my focus has been a bit scattered. Anyway, there are moments when I get to spend a little more time…
Here’s what popped out when I watched the condensed version of MLB games last night. Not sure who needs a little recap, but here ya go if you don’t have an hour to sit down and watch. Mostly, maybe a tidbit or two can help point some of you onto a helpful rabbit-hole somewhere. TOR…
The early picks for this week have delivered in a massive way. We’ve had great efforts from Alec Mills, Cristian Javier, and Randy Dobnak. Adam Wainwright was in consideration, but was lost to us due to a cancellation. Speaking of cancellations and age of 2020 postponements, make sure to follow along on Twitter at @roto_ranks…
With some teams missing games due to COVID-19, I will not be including some of them into this summary as there is not much to take away from teams who only played three games or did not play at all. Arizona Diamondbacks Towards the end of the week the Diamondbacks swapped Starling Marte back to…
Welp, we lost Pablo Lopez last week. Although, that could’ve been a gift in disguise, as the Orioles (5-3) continue to hang onto second place in the AL East, ahead of the Blue Jays, Rays, and Red Sox. Also, I shouldn’t have included Steven Matz last week, who was over my self-imposed 50% owned threshold.…
